Last week three days had been
spent by the Coroner's jury in the
investigation of tho Bates Thomas
tragedy at Seward. All but three
of the ten heretofore arrested, have
beon discharged from custody of
the Coroner's jury the two young
Thomas's and a Mr. Bronghton re
main under arrest. It is stated that
the wounded are improving except
old man Thomas and one of bis
sons. W. H. Bates, who was killed
in the family fight between the
Bates aud Thomas's, was buried on
the 3d inst., by tho Masons, the
members of Milford aud Ulysses
lodges also participating. It is said
to bo the largest funeral procession
ever seen in the county, being more
than a mile in length. This bloody
and sad affair originated in the
school of Miss MaryMcLeland by
the teacher having the director,
Isreal F. Bates, expel from the
school Harvey Thomas and Amos
Donaldson on account of whisper
ing and disorderly conduct. This
action on tho part of the school
board iucensed these two boys
against the Bates family, and they
enlisted the sympathy of the remain
der of the male members of the
Thomas family, Wm. Donaldson
aud Charles Broughton. Director
Bates had a talk with the father of
Harvey Thomas after the expulsion,
and informed him that his boy
could come back to school by con
forming to tho rules. Geo. E. Bates
is a regular minister of gospel in
the M. E. Church, and conducted
the services in the school house on
Thursday evening of last week, and
when the meeting closed and the
audienco were leaving the room,
Henry Thomas commenced the
attack by striking Wm. Bates on
the head, which stunned and stag
gered him and while falling over,
the pistol shot was fired that killed
him.
Sheepish ncfcR.
Mr. Editor: Tho abovo caption
may have a supposed sarcasm about
it, but upon examination the old
proverb "a good deal ot cry and
little wool" will have to be reversed
in Nebraska; "a little cry aud much
wool," will bo the conclusion.
Sheep husbandry, like many of
the untried industries iu this State,
has not yet commanded the atten
tion of tho great wool growers of
the United Stales, but from the
small investments intelligently ap
plied it does not require much fore
cast to predict sheep raising as one
of the most importaut factors in tho
future wealth, to be eliminated from
tho millions of acres of nutritious
grasses and dry climate, which are
tho very elements of sheep life and
rapid increase. A few facts like
thoso presented in recent numbers
of tho Journal will do mora to
direct attention to our superior ad
vantages for wool growing and
mutton, than all tho dissertations of
learned theorists.
The statement of Chas. Thrush of
Colfax county, published in the last
Journal, showing a net gain for
four years of $743.50 from $120 in
vested, is true. I saw his sheep
when he bought them, and also
know that he was inexperienced, but
by careful study of the needs and
habits of sheep, ho attained the re
sults he communicates to the Scbuy
cr JSun.
Iri'Land and Home, an agricul
tural paper, is published a series of
articles by Joseph Harris, "Talks on
Sheep," and in the January number
he refers to one ewe as having a
lamb that weighed 14 pounds at
birth, and became so ecstatic over
such a prodigy that the lamb was
known as tho fourteen pounder.
Against this statement I quote the
figures of A. Heinricb, a sheep
raiser of Platte county, of lambs
dropped this spring weighing from
35 to 40 pounds, whose communica
tion appears in the Journal of Feb.
25th. The large flocks of sheep
already in the State, and the thous
ands of acres of land taken for tho
pasturage of immense flocks to be
brought in the coming season, all
attest the value aud importance of
sheep raising (even on a small scale)
sending the results of their success
to their local papers. Dot.

Some of the neighbors were treat
ed to an impromtu deer hunt tho oth
er day ; a fire was coming iu from the
north with the wind and in order to
prevent damage the men went out
a few miles to head it off While
they were firing two deer sprang
into sight between the fires. For a
few moments the excitement was
intense, the men and horses joining
in the chase. At one time they had
them hemmed into a little space,.the
fire burning all around ; but after a
few minutes hesitation they leaped
the flames aud oscaped. Had any of
the party had guns they could easily
have killed them, as they were
within a few feet of them.
The population of our township is
increasing. Mr. Westcott with a
large family of children has recently
moved into his new home on Sec.
29. He was very glad to find five
acres already broken for him.
Mr. Potter from Iowa, with his
wife and family, are expected short
ly to occupy the Wickhatn farm on
Sec. 30, which they have' recently
purchased.
In addition to these, sons and
daughters have been added to the
homes of George Rollins, William
Knight aud E. Graham. Long life
to them all, young and old.
